Question

Is it normal for my 3 month old son to be having watery yellow stools?

Share

He eats only formula and his stools are mixed with the seedy looking poop. His personality is his same happy self but i'm still worried. i'm going to his pedi soon but would like to know if anyone has experienced this and what could it be? oh and i recently switched from enfamil gentlease to enfamil premium if that has anything to do with it..thanks for your answers

The fact that they're watery indicates that either your son is drooling more than usual (common at this age, when teething typically begins. Don't expect any teeth just yet, though - my son began teething around that age, and didn't get his first tooth until he was about 8 months old!), or his tummy is trying to adjust to the new formula. With baby poop, pretty much anything goes. As long as they're not bloody or too firm (constipated), or your LO doesn't have a decrease in wet diapers & an increase in watery stools, all is well.
